The Wichahpi Commemorative Stone Wall (also known as the Tom Hendrix Wall) is a stone wall built by Tom Hendrix to memorialize his Native American great-great-grandmother who was part of the American Indian removal to Oklahoma. The wall, which Tom began to build over 30 years ago, represents his great-great grandmother’s journey back to her Yuchi tribe’s native land after she and many others were relocated to Oklahoma following the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

While most of the sandstone and limestone come from a local quarry, visitors have donated stones from all around the world, including New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and France, and the wall is currently the largest mortarless wall in the country. Part of the wall incorporates a tranquil prayer circle, offering a space for quiet meditation and reflection.
